How to use
Build from the generated plan, not from guesswork.
- 1. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP image, then preserve its ratio or choose an avatar, logo, banner, or poster preset.
- 2. Fit the whole image or fill and crop it, then drag the crop focus and choose a preset or individual Minecraft blocks.
- 3. Use clean regions for logos or Floyd-Steinberg dithering for photos, compare both previews, then inspect the zoomable coordinate grid and 8- or 16-block sections.
- 4. Download a clean PNG, a grid PNG, or a CSV material list with block, stack, and remainder counts before building.
Output guide
Use each output for a different building job.
The live preview contains one matched Minecraft block for every non-transparent output cell.
The material plan reports exact block totals, percentages, and 64-block stack and remainder counts.
Clean PNG, grid PNG, CSV, sticky row and column rulers, drag-to-pan navigation, and selectable section markers support manual building.

FAQ
Minecraft Pixel Art Generator FAQ
Can I upload my own image?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP image up to 12 MB. Conversion happens locally in your browser, so the source image is not sent to this website.
How wide should pixel art be?
Small icons can work at 32 blocks wide, while logos and murals are usually clearer at 64 blocks or more.
Why does my image lose detail?
Minecraft block art has limited resolution and color choices, so tiny features and subtle colors are simplified.
Which Minecraft block palette should I use?
Concrete gives bold colors, wool has a classic texture, terracotta creates muted tones, natural blocks suit organic builds, and survival-friendly mode limits the plan to easier materials. Choose Custom block selection to include or exclude individual blocks.
What can I download from the generator?
You can download a clean PNG, a PNG with a build grid, or a CSV material list with block totals, stacks, remainders, and percentages.
Is this the same as map art?
No. Pixel art is a visible block build. Map art is designed around Minecraft map item colors and 128x128 map sections.
